A MAN was treated for concussion after being punched and kicked in the head outside High Wycombe Railway Station on Monday.

At about 9pm the man, who had arrived at the station after spending a day in London, was walking along Amersham Hill when he was approached by three men.

They threw a drinks bottle at him and punched him in the head, causing him to fall backwards.

When he was on the ground he was repeatedly kicked in the head before the three men made off.

He was taken to Wycombe Hospital where he was treated for concussion.

Police say the first man is described as black, in his late teens, with a shaved head and wearing a bright yellow T-shirt.

The other two men were white and one wore a black shell suit with white banding around the bottom of the jacket and trousers. The third man wore a white or beige T-shirt.

PC Jason Gregory, investigating the incident, said: "This appears to have been a completely unprovoked attack and I'm keen to speak with anyone who was in the area at the time who may have seen or heard something suspicious."

If you have any information, please call contact PC Gregory on 0845 8 505 505 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

And what will they do when and if they catch them?
Give them a really stern talking to, as long as that doesnt offend them of course.

Or if that doesnt work we could spend some of the public's money and take them out on a day trip, perhaps paintballing or on a safari or something. Just so we can get to know the real problems behind the people.

Rubbish!

These people deal in fear, and fear is the only thing they respect.
When, oh when, will they wise up to the fact that the vast majority of decent people are increasingly fed up of being marginalised to the advantage of a small minority of thugs.

What a bunch of pathetic chavs! Count yourself lucky I wasn't your target or nearby when this happened, I would have given you cowardly thugs a run for your money.
I suppose you think you're the big men ganging up on a single person. Wimps.

We have a ton of CCTV in the town centre but I'm sure they don't both going through it. Too much like hard work.

The attack happened on Amersham Hill, therefore outside of the station boundary. Shame the police with their NEW personal video cameras weren't around to record the incident

Crime in Wycombe rears it’s ugly head once again.
He was taken to Wycombe Hospital where he was treated for concussion.
Is Wycombe Hospital capable of dealing whit such an incident as I thought they had shut the A&E department?

Probably going for a smoke where they can't be seen by their bosses. That'll explain where they were then when the incident happened

The incident happened on MONDAY reported here FRIDAY, surely that's enough time for them to allow them to get-a-way.
It would have been reported on Tuesday if it had happened at Eden.
AND Ivor thought!!!
